Recovering from a weekend of getting drunk does'nt bode well when the office goes tits up on a Monday morning and I end up rowing with the acting DOM regarding a bulk posting and lapsing.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Heavy day, we got finished a whopping nine minutes before our time, which is something of a luxury compared to the past few weeks. There's nothing quite like a nice easy Summer, and this is nothing like one either. Roll on Autumn pressure :crazy:

Cut offs Yesterday. How the Hell does a delivery plan say it takes 20mins on some loops? Yer talking 30mins plus with Tracked, Recorded, Specials, locked gates, dogs etc.

Almost drowned in my own sweat, then the sun goes in and its cold. Weird...

Heavy day today, loads of packets. Got back to the office and the acting DOM said to me, 'we've got 32 loops coming back'.........my response was 'and?.... :cuppa '.

Another long and busy day. Still doing parcels in the afternoon. New starters due soon as we are still under staffed on the walks. Hot and clammy all day.

Just trying to figure out...If Full Timers cant do the whole round, and leave "cut offs"...how is the Boss expecting me to do the same full round in 4.5hrs?

9 loops x 30 mins, 30 mins break = 5 hrs, my Working Day. 12 loops would be enforced O/T.

Good at Maffs, me.

Quiet day for a Thursday but spoilt by the b*~tard Jack Russell that bit me on the leg in a farmyard. Suppose I should take comfort in the fact that according to the owner "you are the first person he has bit!"
